"import numpy" tries to load my own package
- by Sebastian
I have a python (2.7) project containing my own packages util and operator (and so forth).
I read about relative imports, but perhaps I didn't understand. I have the following directory structure:
top-dir/
util/__init__.py (empty)
util/ua.py
util/ub.py
operator/__init__.py
...
test/test1.py
The test1.py file contains
#!/usr/bin/env python2
from __future__ import absolute_import # removing this line dosn't change anything. It's default functionality in python2.7 I guess
import numpy as np
It's fine when I execute test1.py inside the test/ folder. But when I move to the top-dir/ the import numpy wants to include my own util package:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from operator import itemgetter as _itemgetter, eq as _eq
ImportError: cannot import name itemgetter
The troublesome line is either
from . import util
or perhaps
from operator import itemgetter as _itemgetter, eq as _eq
What can I do?
